Reply:If I don't want to mess up an "arrangement," I'll just remove the whole thing from it's container and hold it under the shower to remove dust. If not in an arrangement, just swish them around in some water in the tub, using soap on any if needed then rinsing.





Another thing she might want to try if not removing the arrangement, is to vacuum it but *through* something that will hold them in place while vacuuming....something like netting from a fabric store, or possibly cheesecloth, or even wire mesh, etc.

Reply:Another idea I have used:


You can put them in a brown paper bag (like a shopping bag) and shake salt over it, then close the bag %26amp; shake it up really good to help knock of all the dust.
Reply:it may take a while but you need a bucket of soapy water and sponge you wipe over the tops and the bottoms of each leave or petel
Reply:Every six months or so I gather all the silk plants in my house and toss them in the washing machine with a little laundry soap. Use the gentle spin cycle. Don't put them in the dryer.
Reply:Silks Alive - you can buy it at most craft stores for about $4 a can. It's a spray and you don't have to take the arrangement apart to clean it. Just spray and it dissolves the dust!
